Thanks Nathan. Perhaps I misspoke. My understanding is that if winbind is configured correctly, if I issue 'getent passwd' then I should see local and domain users listed. I only see local users and my windbindd log has the aforementioned errors.

If you wanted to use it to add entries, you'd need to do something like: getent passwd | grep "YOURDOMAIN+" >> /etc/passwd But, then that would defeat the purpose of using winbind anyway.
